  • Field Details

    • LOCALHOST

      public static final String LOCALHOST
      what we return when we cannot determine our hostname. We use this rather than 'localhost' as if DNS is very confused, localhost can map to different machines than "self".

    • LOCALHOST_IPV6

      public static final String LOCALHOST_IPV6
      loopback address in IPV6

  • Method Details

    • getLocalHostname

      public static String getLocalHostname()
      Get the string defining the hostname of the system, as taken from the default network adapter of the system. There is no guarantee that this will be fully qualified, or that it is the hostname used by external machines to access the server. If we cannot determine the name, then we return the default hostname, which is defined by LOCALHOST
      Returns:
      a string name of the host.
